According to the latest record water capacity of Hirakud Dam is 630 feet and now there is more than 628 feet water in that dam so we can imagine how critical the condition is. Due to heavy flood in Mahanadi river many areas are seriously affected such as Sambalpur, Bargarh, Subarnapur, Anugul, Bouda, Nayagarh, Cuttack, Kendrapara, jagatsinghpur and puri district. Like this due to Brahmani and Baitarani, Kendrapara, Jajpur, Bhadrak anbd kendujhar district is highly affected.

A bad news for the people is Sunday is purnami and at that time Sea water level rises so problem arises for passing the flood water into the sea. So if water level rises more than 65 feets in Dalei Ghai of Jagatsingfhpur then there will be a unimaginable loss of lives and wealths in Orissa.
